What my friends at ACC say about me:
I am looking for a home with a patient person.
I can be slow to adjust to new environments. I prefer to take things at my own pace.
Theodore tolerates attention and petting but appears fearful or stressed in the shelter. He may be a little more independent and may need time to warm up to his new home. We recommend this cat go to a home with experienced cat parents. Due to the behavior shown, he may not be a great fit for young children. Any home with older children prepared to adopt this cat should conduct a thorough interaction and endeavor to monitor this cat around their children to prevent these behaviors from being reinforced.
A volunteer writes: Theodore crunches himself as close to the door as he can. He wants so much to be part of the action, but isn't always sure what to do with the attention that comes with it. Theodore came to us without a whole lot of information on his life before, but has been trying to put his best paw forward in his own way. Theodore flops onto his side for pets and cuddles, nuzzling into my hand like a true kitty professional. The limelight may feel invigorating but it comes with responsibility that Theodore isn't always ready to hold. So, Theodore can get a little overwhelmed by it from time to time but still he sits at the front of his condo because he's ready to try.
